AGAIN the Mandan Ploneer takes mp
the cudgeI in opposition to the gross
earnings law as applied to the Northern
Pacific railroad, The Pioneer says:
The 2. and d. makes mistake in
stating that "by an act OF congress its
lands and possessions are exempted
from taxation in the territories" No
,such Law exists. Ii it did then the
Northern Pacific would not have paid a
cent taxes even under the gross earning
Law. ALI that is exempt from taxetion
is the right OF way and the buildings
thereon.
Bot the Northern Pacific has paid
taxes for years under the gross earnings
Law. when ander direct tax Law it
would pay nothing. While the laws
exempt its lands and improvements
from taxation the only way to reach
that corporation is through the taxation
OK it's cash receipts,
The Press and Dakotaian has erred in
stating that ell the lands Of the Northern
Pacific are exempted by congressional
law-or perhaps it has not been explicit
enough in drawing the line between con.
gressional and territorial exemption, By
q law Of congress the Northern Pacific
right Of way through Dakota is exempt
from taxation. This includes strip
four hundred feet wide from Fargo to
the west boundary line OF the territory.
Upon This strip are located the tracks
buildings, etc., of the company and all
these improvements are covered by the
exempting enactment.
| There is another law-the
production of a territorial
ilegislature--which exempts the vast
landed possessions of the corporation
from taxation. This lsv- was passed
during the corrupt session Of 1883 and
was 10 itself a stupendous piece of cor.
Eruption. The bill was originally con-
lstructed for the purpose. finally attained
la the council the exempting clause was
stricken out and she bill passed without

Is is stated that the testimony IN the
so-ealled investigation Of the trustees Of
the Yankton insane hospisal has been
printed In pamphlet form for general
circulation. 1t is not yet known upon
what fund the warrant wss Tor will pe)
drawn in payment for the publication Of
this testimony, though 1t is tolerably
safe to predict that the auditor will not
hazard another raid upon the insane hos
pitai fund. We can find in the book Of
laws no provision Tor the. payment Of
this species OF printing expenses. unless
IL may be liquidated from the notarial
fee pot at the disposal Of his excellency.
To those who read this volume Of testi--
fmony we desire to suggest that is en-
tirely the testimony OF the prosecution
all on one side. The. defence expected
the matter to be carried from the star
chamber to the courts and during the
Investigation made no effort against the
political conspirators who were after
their official scalps. The trustees have
time and again asked for the protection
OF 9 judicial investigation, but 1t hes
not, yet been granted them. In the
courts they are ready to set aside every
allegation made. This they will not at
tempt before partisan tribunal.

eastern border OF Dakota, where the
waters OF the north divide
from the waters OF the south,
will be wiped out by this process

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Where is Postal Order Clerk Ed.
M. Wood?

1t transpired yesterday that the postal
order clerk at the postoffice, Mr.. Ed.
M. Wood, had disappeared, and no
one knew where to. Under such cir
cumstances, of course, the first rumor
to get abroad was that he was short in
his accounts. 1t is great pleasure in
the present instance to be able to state
that such is not the case. Mr.. Wood
is a brother of Fred. w. Wood, one of
the best known young men in the city.
From this gentleman the following de-
tails have been learned: The missing
man has been here about three
months, having came to this city from
Alameda, of which place he has been
a resident for some time past. His
wife remained behind in Alameda,
and he was just making preparations
for her removal here; and to this end
he was getting house built on Victor
street. Mr.. Wood roomed with his
son in house OH Arroyo street. Last
Saturday night at 8 o'clock Wood
went out to the stable, and there ask
ed some person if there was an early
train to San Bernardino. Learning
there was, he returned to the post
office. where he remained from 8 to 10
O'Clock. When he was leaving he gave
his KEYS to Harry Thornton, asking
that one, if he did not return Monday
morning, to hand the keys to Ben
Straus. He then left the Office, and
that is the last heard Of him, SO far as
any one here is informed. Once be-
fore, Mr.. Wood took Sunday trip to
San Bernardino, and was gone until
Tuesday. 1t was thought until late
Monday that he had again taken such
trip, and therefore no notice was
taken of his disappearance. But, not
coming back at that time, his friends
became alarmed.
The first step made was to ascertain
how his affairs stood at the office.
Postmaster Preuss and Fred Wood,
both excellent accountants, at once
examined the books and cash, and
found both correct to cent. On
Tuesday, the son of the missing man
went to San Bernardino to search fol
him.
The following is description of the
estray: A man of about As years old
5 feet 5 inches in height, with stool
| in the shoulders, and weighing about
l15O pounds. He shaves, excepting
small dark moustache. He was
dressed in suit of gray clothes ant
wore felt hat.

Insanity Matters.

examined Leopold Grasswold and
Jennie Grant, two lunatics confined in
the county Jail. The former is the
proprietor of the Three Mile House.
on the road to Sepulveda. He be.
came violently insane some time age
and has since attempted to butt out
his brains. The medical examiners
found that he was insane and Judge
O'Melveny made an order committing
him to Stockton. Deputy Sheriff
Frank Benedict Immediately after
ward started North with him.
Mrs. Jennie Grant, the unfortunate
woman who is suffering from puerpe-
raj fever, was found raving. After q
consultation it was agreed to keep her
at the county Jail for one week under
proper medical care, as it is expected
that an abatement of the disease may
restore her to her senses.

EDITORS HERALD Three months
ago there was published in the HER
AID sketch Of the plans Of the sewer
system Of the city. These plans have
therefore been before the people
ninety days, and have not been OBJ
jected to by a single individual. In
addition, the City Council invited Col.
Waring, the famous engineer, to pass
upon the plans, at an expense Of $500
for his services, and in addition,
secured the services of the eminent
sanitary engineer, Rudolph Herring,
who made an exhaustive examination
of the proposed system, and after
modification endorsed it, at an ex-
pense of $3.50.
All these plans and notifications
were before the City Council and pub
lished in printed form, and un-
animously adopted as matter
OF emergency or eminent necessity.
After all this consideration of the
matter
THE VETO OF THE ORDINANCE
Came like a thunderclap in clear
sky. The idea of the appointment of
a new commission with increased ex-
pense and delay that shall have no
end is calamity to the city. Millions
of dollars that would have been ex-
pended in the construction of buildings
that could have ample connection with
the new sewer system will go else
where, where people are not afraid to
pay taxes for the construction of sew
ers. All the cities of South California
except Los Angeles have gone to work
to make a sewer system. After the
City Council had selected a City En-
gineer and. invited two eminent and
disinterested sanitary engineers to join
him in maturing a plan, which seemed
so reasonable and necessary that the
plan was adopted unanimously, it
seems strange that on the reception of
a veto of the same that it should not
have been passed unanimously over
the veto.
The appointment of new COM
mission means about IS ,000-increased
expense to the taxpayer and a delay
that will arrest the construction OF
millions of dollars worth of new build
ings and transfer that amount of capi-
tai to other towns for investment.
Calling halt in sewer making is an
attempt at financial suicide. In con-
versation yesterday with leading tax
payers, they express extreme indigna-
ton at the veto of the sewer ordinance
and express hope that the City Council
will again pass the ordinance as before
unanimously. If the measure was
right last week it is quite right now:

I'LL LUCK WITH MULES.

E. G. Burlingame commenced suit

cover $3145 damages from H. B.
Short. The plaintiff alleges that on
the 22nd of July last he bought from
defendant twenty mules and four
wagons, the defendant guaranteeing
that the mules were sound and
healthy, and adapted to the work of
grading. Mr.. Burlingame paid $2500
for the animals and wagons and
thought he had received the value of
his money. A short time afterwards
he learned that twelve of the mules
had the glanders, which disease was
communicated to horse valued at
$3.50. All but seven of the mules
died and the hosre died, and Mr.. Bur-
lingame wants $3145 damages.

he did, and the dose injured him
